The Morgan San Simeon - Cambria by Hearst Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Hearst castle closeness and a lot of architectural paintings from the castle."

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We walked into our room and discovered two chairs on the other side of the bed, facing the wall of glass and the view of the ocean! The slider let out to a lovely patio with wood rocking chairs (pretty uncomfortable - we had to use bed pillows). We could hear the ocean and feel the cool breeze. The hotel provided us with a complimentary bottle of bubbly and thought of lots of amenities. There was a wood burning fireplace in our room (we didn't use it but definitely will when we return in the winter). The hot tub and swimming pool were just a few steps from our sliding door. On check-in, I reminded the desk clerk that I asked for a pet friendly room and she told me that every room is pet friendly! There were pet stations positioned throughout the grounds, with walking paths and fire pits that were lit at dusk. There was a beach volleyball court, huge checkers and chess outdoor games and fresh coffee each morning in the lobby. We ate at the restaurant on premises and had a thoroughly wonderful stay. Our dogs enjoyed it immensely too! Definitely going to return."
